RHSV President Don Garden and the Volunteers enjoyed a luscious Christmas feast at their Headquarters in A'Beckett. Don thanked the Staff and Volunteers, and particularly those who worked to make the party a wonderful and friendly event. He also outlined the latest progress on our efforts to remain at the Drill Hall. Our most recent approach to the new Minister can be seen in the December Update on our homepage.

The Drill Hall will close at noon on Tuesday 23 December, so there is still time to check out the History Victoria Bookshop in person. Online orders will not be dispatched until we re-open on Monday 12 January. Enjoy your celebrations and holiday break, and we will see you back next year!

The new History Victoria Online Bookshop was launched during History Week by Maree Coote, a former winner of the Victorian Community History Award in 2012 for her book The Art of Being Melbourne. A feature of the launch was the large number of the entries in the 2014 awards, available for purchase in our Online catalogue. You are also welcome to come in and browse the selection on display.

If you wish to purchase a book online, please do so soon, as we won't be able to guarantee delivery before Christmas if you leave it too late. If time is short, pop in and buy them over the counter, at 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, near Flagstaff Station.
